What Jvis does

JVIS USA, LLC is a privately held tier-one automotive component manufacturer headquartered in Shelby Township, Michigan, founded in 1991 and operating approximately 1,001–5,000 employees across multiple manufacturing and warehouse facilities in the United States. The company specializes in vertically integrated production of plastic automotive interiors and painted molded components, spanning seven technology categories: interior systems, exterior systems, lighting, electrical, decorative, molding, and functional plastics and battery systems. Its technical capabilities include advanced injection molding processes (two-shot, insert, variable temperature molding, in-mold decorating, low-pressure molding), blow molding for lightweighting, an in-house validation laboratory for rapid iterative testing, and proprietary technologies including CoreHeat® surface heating, CoreVent™ seat ventilation, MicroHeat™ molecular heating, individually addressable LED lighting, and in-vehicle wireless charging.

JVIS generates revenue primarily through long-term B2B supply contracts with automotive OEMs (hardware sales) and tooling/die professional services. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales to OEMs with strategic partnerships for co-developed technology (e.g., the Fergas Group AB alliance for seat ventilation) and consumer product distribution through its own e-store and retail partnerships (e.g., Lowe's for MicroHeat tankless water heaters). The customer base includes traditional OEMs (Honda, Chrysler/Stellantis, Ford), EV manufacturers (Rivian, Lucid, Faraday Future, Ceer), and non-automotive clients such as Zipline for autonomous drone assembly and Identilock for biometric gun locks. Sub-brands include MicroHeat (consumer heating), Bolden (adventure audio), Paint Behind (painting tools), CoreHeat, and CoreVent.

JVIS is currently expanding through the $79.8 million acquisition of Toledo Molding & Die (TMD) in May 2026—adding roughly 600 employees and expanding injection/blow molding capacity—and through new tier-one supplier contracts with Ceer, Saudi Arabia's first homegrown EV brand, as part of Ceer's $1.4 billion supplier commitments tied to its $1.3 billion manufacturing complex. The company holds ISO 14001 certification, maintains trademarks on its proprietary brands, and has earned OEM recognition including the 2013 Chrysler Supplier Innovation of the Year and the 2026 Honda Supplier Award for Excellence in Value.
